SHARP IRON SOCIETY

Hosts Derek (BJJ black belt) and Scott (Crossfit instructor/gun academy caretaker) are two dudes seeking out great folks in their backyard and across the country, and physical culture in all of its forms. Lots of discussion, tons of coffee, and a bit of learning, experimentation - and the desire to inspire people to get out and try new activities with their bodies and minds.

Derek sits down with multiple-time Pan-Am/Asian Open champion Jared Weiner (BJJ United, Mission 22), a highly-respected BJJ instructor and former LEO. Topics include competition mindset, the early days of Philly BJJ, and dealing with the fallout of CTE.

[NOTE: We lost the last 20min of this episode due to tech issues (main recording disc up and died during the recording). Problem easily solved, but I'd like to apologize to the Sharp Iron Society listeners on behalf of the network. Hard lesson learned - thanks for your patience as we grow along with these great podcasts. - Duncan]
